In a match characterized by defensive fortitude from both sides, Union Berlin and Freiburg played to a 0-0 draw at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Union Berlin managed six shots on target, twice as many as Freiburg's four, demonstrating their ability to carve out clear-cut opportunities; however, Freiburg's defense, exemplified by strategic positioning and disciplined covering, managed to neutralize these threats effectively. Conversely, Freiburg, with ten shots off target, appeared less precise in their attempts, suggesting a lack of composure in the final third.

Teamwork and performance were evident particularly in Union Berlin’s cohesive defense, maintained throughout the match despite the early yellow card issued to Rani Khedira, which might have pressured them into cautious play. Kevin Vogt's yellow card in the second half did put Union under temporary duress but they managed to hold back Freiburg’s advances. In contrast, Freiburg’s slightly more aggressive approach, indicated by 10 shots off target, did not translate into tangible results, largely due to Union’s comprehensive defending and effective counteraction during Union's attacking phase.

Set pieces were a marginal factor here, with Union earning four corner kicks compared to Freiburg's single corner, yet neither side could capitalize on these to break the deadlock. Additionally, Union’s higher frequency of offsides (four) compared to Freiburg's single offside suggests an eager but sometimes overeager attempt to push beyond Freiburg’s defensive lines, ultimately indicating that both teams were well-organized at the back in intercepting each other’s forward movements.

The tally of fouls highlights a match played with physicality but under control, as Union committed three more fouls (11 to 8) than their counterparts, showing their assertive defending nature without crossing the line into reckless play. Ultimately, the impact of disciplined defense and strategic deployment by both teams culminated in a stalemate, as neither managed to convert their tactical efforts into a decisive victory on the scoreboard.
